I too almost skipped the current poll for similar reasons. But given that the number of participants in the interactive polls has significantly dropped lately, I decided to participate anyway for loyalty reasons. I have had a topic in mind for quite some time now that is pretty much the opposite of the current poll. But I would like to wait until after the summer break. It would be great to have you aboard once the time has come!





I'll try to be around for your poll.

^ Probably not due to other commitments, but thanks for asking, Lorenzo. Yep, I'll take a raincheck on that.

But now are you avalaible to open the new poll?

I'm very late for voting, and have listened quite a few times, but it was very hard to come down to just three, which is a reason why I hesitated to vote in a more timely fashion.

In the end I went with...
Bang on the Can All Stars - Sago An Ya Rev
Maisha - Azure
The Berg Sans Nipple - A Free..

Haar I had wanted to go with too, and the Aeolian harp is lovely.

Great topic.

I remember that!  I may still pop in to these polls from time to time, depending on available time.  

Actually, my posting of the Aeolian harp video was an inspiration from Nick's harpist additions, so kind of seeing into the future, with the new poll up, which is a fantastic idea of George's.

The playlist is a really great one, just from one to the next, flows really well together.

You guys have some great wine over there. Languedoc wines are among my favourites! - The temperature in Nice is still comfortable and according to the weather forcast it should remain quite stable. We normally travel to France in the first week of June in order to avoid the worst of the heat and the tourist crowds but this year Pentecost was quite late. I was a little worried.

Glad you liked it, Lorenzo. On this piece Michel Portal is actually playing both bass clarinet and soprano saxophone... The bass clarinet is wonderful here, I think!




Yes, sure, wonderul piece, it was a contender for the third place.

I visited Montpellier 5 or 6 years ago.

I went on holidays in Sète, and I have seen Agde and Montpellier.

I have travelled a lot in France, I know many French cities.

I really enjoyed all of your choices and just can't decide which track to give my third vote to. So, honorable mentions: The entire playlist of amazing windy, breezy or stormy tracks ! Smile

I'm not tied with the umblical cord to Switzerland. I'm having dinner in the garden of our house, pieds dans l'eau at the Côte d'Azur. ;)

My podium:

Azur: music in soundtrack style (new age style?), very slow and minimalist but with a development, a very nice crescendo towards 4 minutes, which unfortunately vanishes. Honorable mention

The Aeolian Harp: two and a half minute instrumental piece, vibes, good vibes, experimental, Honorable mention, Nickie forever!

Aerial boundaries: very ethereal instrumental piece, guided by the acoustic guitar, meditative, contemplative, new age style, interesting when the guitar goes on the high notes.

A free ...: still an instrumental piece, even if there are some sounds of sampled voices, compared to the previous ones it is a percussive piece, with bells, or brass percussion. Vaguely oriental. Experimental. Honorable mention

Blue, blue Sky: after ambient sounds, here is the first real song, bucolic, sung with a graceful voice, but it is very short, if you remove the noises of nature

Azure: mini suite led by the flute (perhaps synthetic), then a jazz piano, very airy, exotic sounds, then the flute returns, impressionistic song, bronze medal

Sago an ya rev: completely unpredictable noisy instrumental piece, and this is good, but without development, without direction, and this is bad: it remains a curious and original piece, more than anything else an experimentation of synthetic sounds.

Histoire de Vent: once again an instrumental piece, this time guided by percussion and the saxophone, also unpredictable but more musical. Honorable mention.

Cradles: second song with the vocals of a singer, song that becomes energetic, enthralling, with an electric guitar solo, the only one of its kind in the poll, but then slowly fades away, then a long instrumental piece starts, almost a long-drawn blues jam. Gold medal

Words I heard: mesmeric song, which envelops you, between the beautiful voice of the singer and the arrangement of the violins. Silver medal
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.
